Raiders Beat: TE Michael Mayer could see increase in targets

Ryan McFadden on X

Nov 04 · 12:40 PM EST

Brock Bowers will obviously see his targets increase, so should Michael Mayer.

Fantasy Impact:

The Raiders WR room isn't exactly a lot of household names, and with Bowers almost a WR anyway, having Mayer in the fold getting more work makes some sense. McFadden added in his post that, against Jacksonville, Mayer was targeted seven times for three catches and 26 yards last week, as Raiders utilized 12 personnel more than any game this season. This could be a theme going forward for the Raiders, making Mayer a guy to take a shot on and at least stash away for a few weeks to see if this theory pans out.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers Doubtful, WR Jakobi Meyers Questionable for Week 7

TE Brock Bowers is listed as doubtful and WR Jakobi Meyers is questionable for Sunday’s game in Kansas City.

Related Players: Michael Mayer, Tre Tucker, Dont'e Thornton, Jack Bech

Fantasy Impact:

Mayer is a good streaming candidate this week, but the other ancillary pieces are a little risky to depend on. Tucker could be an interesting WR4 option without Jakobi, but Geno Smith can be ignored in leagues of all sizes.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) considered week to week

Pro Football Talk

Oct 07 · 10:36 AM EDT

Raiders tight end Brock Bowers suffered a knee injury during the team’s Week 1 win over the Patriots and has been dealing with it since.

Bowers did not play in Las Vegas’ loss to Indianapolis on Sunday and his status is now up in the air for Week 6.

“[H]e’s week-to-week,” head coach Pete Carroll said in his Monday press conference. “We got to see what’s going on and see if we can get him back. And he’s dying to play. We went all the way till Saturday’s walk-through to see if he could go, and it didn’t feel like he could. So, we’ll just start over again, do it again this week.”

Fantasy Impact:

Bowers owners are likely thinking back to when they heard the knee injury wasn't considered serious. Since then, Bowers had limped through a couple of weeks and now is in danger of missing his second-straight week of action. As the story said, Mayer also didn't play due to a concussion but could be back this week and may be a decent replacement option for Bowers owners.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers misses Thursday practice

Ryan McFadden

Sep 11 · 5:05 PM EDT

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) and LB Elandon Roberts (elbow) are not practicing. They are observing the stretch period without a helmet.

Injury report will come out later this afternoon.

Related Players: Michael Mayer

Fantasy Impact:

While Mayer certainly wouldn't be a slam-dunk play if Bowers misses Week 2, he does make for an interesting streamer in leagues where there aren't a ton of options. The tight end ran only 16 routes, but did account for four of Geno Smith's 33 pass attempts with Bowers playing most of Week 1. Bowers should be jammed anywhere we have him if he suits up.
